Destined

19

The pair slowly walks through the silent and peaceful streets,enjoying the wonderful and crisp winter breeze

Today was Christmas and Hyunjin was invited over for dinner,by Nari's Dad

They absolutely and beyond words loved having Hyunjin around

Both her parents were at home for the holidays,they had been since Naeun's death

They were doctors so they were quite busy but as Naeun's death absolutely devastating for everyone,they promised to always be there on family holidays for the only children they had left

Naeun would always get angry when they weren't there,she would always complain that all families spend it together

It wasn't that she didn't know of her parents' duty,she was very much aware but it was because she wanted to keep the family together

She wanted her younger siblings to get the best holiday experience

'It's nice' Nari spoke out first,Hyunjin was surprisingly quiet

Maybe he was lost in thought like Nari was too

The silence was oddly comforting

'It is' he sighs 'What do you like about Christmas?'

'Well,I love that I am able to get a break from Uni,not having to worry about studying you know?'

They laughed

'And, I love that I could spend some quality time with my family.I know my sister is not here anymore but I'm content knowing that we spend Christmas the way she wants us to'

Hyunjin nods 'Your parents and your brother,they love you and they care about you a lot.Must be so nice'

'Oh come on,every parents and sibling loves and cares for one another.It's instinctive'

He pursed his lips 'Not mine'

They went to a nearby bench and sat there

Nari looked at him quizzically, 'What do you mean not yours?'

'Well,you know how my parents are perfectionists right?'

Nari nods

'And how my twin sister Yeji is absolutely and flawlessly perfect in every single was possible?' Hyunjin took deep breaths before continuing 'It's hard for me,she's always the child they're proud of and I'm nothing but the disappointing son that always gets into trouble.I'm just a nuisance to them'

Nari cupped his face 'Don't be silly,you're funny and you're kind,you're super talented and you've bring hope back into my life after I thought I could never find the will to continue my life,you did that for my parents too. I honestly can't remember the last time Dad laughed so wholeheartedly like tonight'

'You really think so?'

Nari nods 'I'm positive'

'Thanks Nari,thank you so much.You have no idea how much you saying that means to me'

'That's how I feel'

And cue the magical moment✨😉
